Mom Confessions: I Paid $22 for My Son's Haircut

It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and
sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.

This Week's
Confession:

"I paid $22 for my son's haircut. No, I don't like spending that kind of money on hair that only needs trimming a month later. But I do want it to look nice, and it's hard to find any place cheaper. I live in an expensive area -- even the barber charges that much! And I have no idea how to cut hair ... I know if I tried it would turn out just awful.

But the worst of it was, I spent $22 (plus tip) and the hair salon was so busy that my son didn't even get to sit in the fire truck! -- anonymous

Pay the going rate and get my son a presentable haircut.

Keep the money and cut it myself -- my son's too young to care that his head looks like a wet porcupine.
